ABOUT LAGERWEY

Lagerwey stands for Quality and Simplicity. We design and produce our own wind turbines and offer an efficient and reliable product. We prefer to deliver our projects turn-key and provide a complete service and maintenance package. Our flexible and transparent approach leads to long lasting relationships with our partners. Together with our customers we have been offering the world clean and reliable wind energy since 1979.

Innovation is the core to our success. In the eighties we started with two bladed geared turbines. In the mid-nineties we developed a three bladed platform with a passive cooled Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Generator. Our current product platforms are based on this design principle which allows us to produce a light-weight and efficient product. This leads to lower costs per kilowatt-hour and a lower environmental impact. Our innovative Modular Steel Tower (MST) is easy to transport and enables higher hub heights, reduces costs and is easy to build up and dismantle. Recycling of the MST can be done cost-neutral, saving project owners high costs at the end of the project lifetime.

Wind energy, combined with storage and grid solutions is part of a growing sustainable energy supply. Our simple and efficient platform and our optimal project solutions enable a reliable an profitable basis for your project. Allow us to be your partner in producing sustainable energy, we will show what advantage through simplicity can do for you.

Strengths

Rich History

Driven by the oil crises and a hunger towards finding alternative energy sources, Henk Lagerweij, an inventor by profession, established his own wind turbine company in 1979 in the Netherlands.

Since then, various successful turbine types have been designed and manufactured, each of them characterized by a number of innovative features now associated with Henk Lagerweij. Lagerwey was the first company to produce variable speed wind turbines with passive blade pitch control to limit the rotor speed and over a decade later Lagerwey was one of the first to introduce direct drive technology to the wind sector.

Ownership of Lagerwey

Lagerwey is owned by sixequal shareholders, represented in the Lagerwey Group. The founders have committed themselves fully to Lagerwey and occupy an important internal function, each in their own area of expertise. Late December 2014, the Lagerwey Group signed an investment deal with a group of Dutch informal investors. The capital investment was done in exchange for a minority share in the Lagerwey Group and strengthens the company’s equity position setting the stage for further growth.
